Re: Recent "Black Wolf" Sightings near Corbett High School

It's yet to be determined whether or not the animal in the photo (posted here and on the Corbett Oregon Facebook page) is actually a wolf. The Dept of Fish & Wildlife has been notified and should be looking into this matter soon. The number for the Sauvie Island-based Multnomah Co. Fish & Wildlife Office is: 503-621-3488. The two primary people who will likely be involved with this case are: Manager Mark Nebeker and Biologist Don Vandebergh.

If the animal in the photo, and the animal which has been seen by multiple people, is in fact a wolf, it is protected by the ESA (Endangered Species Act) and is the responsibility of the Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife. Shooting a protected animal is illegal and a potential felony.
